John 5:2 estin de en toiV ierosolumoiV epi th probatikh kolumbhqra h epilegomenh ebraisti bhqesda ESTIN DE EN TOIS IEROSOLUMOIS EPI TH PROBATIKH
there Now is in Jerusalem at the sheep(s) a pool, the-one being-referred-to hebraically as-bethesda.
We are well aware that the author of John likes to use the 'historical present' in his narratives. Is there any reason to believe that this is such a case, depriving the verse from any usefulness in dating the writing of the gospel?
